Get current documentation answers from incoming email
When an email raises a library question, retrieve relevant current docs and examples so you can respond with less searching and context switching.
Trigger
New Gmail Message Received Trigger
Triggers when a new message is received in Gmail.
Action
Query-docs
Retrieves and queries up-to-date documentation and code examples from Context7 for any programming library or framework. You must call 'resolve-library-id' first to obtain the exact Context7-compatible library ID required to use this tool, UNLESS the user explicitly provides a library ID in the format '/org/project' or '/org/project/version' in their query. IMPORTANT: Do not call this tool more than 3 times per question. If you cannot find what you need after 3 calls, use the best information you have.
Why this helps
Technical questions arrive in the inbox, then sit while you leave email to hunt for version-specific documentation.
- Find relevant documentation while triaging the email
- Ground suggested answers in current docs and examples
- Keep the original question and documentation result together in the run report
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Gmail and Context7 MCP once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3In plain language, ask Notis to identify the library and question in each new email, resolve the library ID, then retrieve relevant documentation and examples.
- 4Pick New Gmail Message Received as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real email that names a library and asks a specific question.
Questions about this workflow
Does this send a reply to the sender?
No. This workflow retrieves documentation and examples for your review; it does not send an email.
What if the email does not name a library?
The automation can report that the library is unclear and ask you to identify it before looking up documentation.
How does it handle library IDs?
It should resolve the package or product name to a Context7-compatible library ID before querying documentation.

Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Query-docs
Retrieves and queries up-to-date documentation and code examples from Context7 for any programming library or framework. You must call 'resolve-library-id' first to obtain the exact Context7-compatible library ID required to use this tool, UNLESS the user explicitly provides a library ID in the format '/org/project' or '/org/project/version' in their query. IMPORTANT: Do not call this tool more than 3 times per question. If you cannot find what you need after 3 calls, use the best information you have.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Resolve-library-id
Resolves a package/product name to a Context7-compatible library ID and returns matching libraries. You MUST call this function before 'query-docs' to obtain a valid Context7-compatible library ID UNLESS the user explicitly provides a library ID in the format '/org/project' or '/org/project/version' in their query. Selection Process: 1. Analyze the query to understand what library/package the user is looking for 2. Return the most relevant match based on: - Name similarity to the query (exact matches prioritized) - Description relevance to the query's intent - Documentation coverage (prioritize libraries with higher Code Snippet counts) - Source reputation (consider libraries with High or Medium reputation more authoritative) - Benchmark Score: Quality indicator (100 is the highest score) Response Format: - Return the selected library ID in a clearly marked section - Provide a brief explanation for why this library was chosen - If multiple good matches exist, acknowledge this but proceed with the most relevant one - If no good matches exist, clearly state this and suggest query refinements For ambiguous queries, request clarification before proceeding with a best-guess match. IMPORTANT: Do not call this tool more than 3 times per question. If you cannot find what you need after 3 calls, use the best result you have.
